Martial Master

With a single move, he defeated a steward.

Qin Chen's expression remained calm.

The first one was not a spy.

As for the fifty thousand contribution points he received, they were inconsequential to Qin Chen.

What he cared about most was still the matter of the demon tribe spies.

Qin Chen squinted his eyes, containing endless killing intent within. The demon tribe had targeted him time and time again, so naturally, he needed to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Otherwise, would they really think he was easy to bully?

"There are a total of one thousand three hundred sixty-seven matches. Even if each one takes a quarter of an hour and there are twelve hours in a day, it would take a full half a month to complete them. If each match only takes five minutes, that would be nearly five days."

Five days' time—what if there were any unforeseen changes, or someone gave up the challenge? Then his plans would fail.

"I will strive to complete all challenges at the fastest speed possible," Qin Chen said with narrowed eyes.

That was why he defeated the steward in one move; he wanted to finish all the challenges in the shortest amount of time.

Outside the arena.

After the silver-robed steward went in, many people outside were waiting.

"The one who went in earlier was Venerable Kas."

"Venerable Kas is a peak human venerable, with extraordinary strength. Deputy Vice Hall Master Qin has said that when facing a steward-level expert, he would lower his cultivation level to match that of his opponent."

"With Venerable Kas's strength, he wouldn't fear an opponent of the same level. Deputy Vice Hall Master Qin is being too overconfident."

"Hehe, just wait. There should be a result within half an hour."

A group of people discussed and calculated.

If Qin Chen exerted all his strength, defeating Venerable Kas would definitely be a matter of moments. However, lowering his cultivation to match his opponent's level, many experts believed Venerable Kas still had a chance of winning.

Just as they were debating, suddenly...

Buzz!

The arena's formation opened, and a figure immediately flew out from within.

It was indeed Venerable Kas.

"So fast?"

Many people were astonished.

How much time had passed?

It hadn't even been two or three minutes, and Venerable Kas had already emerged.

"Venerable Kas, why are you out? What happened inside?"

"Did Deputy Vice Hall Master Qin cancel the duel?"

Many experts were shocked, thinking that perhaps Qin Chen had changed his mind, and they all frowned.

In the arena, no one doubted that the duel had ended since it was too quick, just in the blink of an eye.

"It’s not that. I was defeated. The next challenger can go in," Venerable Kas said in a low voice, looking very grim.

It was simply too embarrassing.

"Defeated?"

The elders gasped, exchanging glances with one another.

How could this be possible?

It was way too fast, right?

Are you kidding? Even killing a chicken takes some time. Defeating a steward should at least take a quarter of an hour, right?

"Could it be that Qin Chen didn’t keep his promise and limited his own cultivation?"

Suddenly, everyone thought of a possibility and their expressions changed.

That would be against the rules.

"No, Deputy Vice Hall Master Qin did limit his cultivation. His strength is not stronger than mine, yet I was defeated," Venerable Kas shook his head.

Although he still couldn't believe he had lost in an instant, he was at least a steward within Heavenly Work, a peak human venerable; he couldn't slander others.

He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

However, his words left many experts present even more shocked.

Qin Chen had defeated Venerable Kas in an instant while limiting his cultivation; this felt terrifying no matter how you looked at it.

Immediately, many experts moved forward, trying to extract some information about Qin Chen from Venerable Kas.

"If you want to know, you can go in and challenge him yourselves," Venerable Kas said without saying more, his face ashen, and he turned to leave.

A nightmare!

Fighting Qin Chen felt like a nightmare for him, making him realize his true position.
